Nimbus IV view of the major structural features of Alaska
E. H. Lathram
1972, Science (175) 1423-1427
Notwithstanding the relatively low degree of ground resolution, many of the major structural features of Alaska can be identified on the Nimbus IV IDCS image, exposed at an altitude of 600 nautical miles (1100 km). In addition, linears of regional extent that may be structurally controlled can be seen, many...
Oil development and conservation in Arctic America
J. C. Reed
1972, Biological Conservation (4) 369-371
As in his earlier article to which reference is made, the author stresses the need for more background information and a much greater research effort before problems of environmental protection from oil developments in northern Alaska can be effectively tackled. Meanwhile, there...

Limnology and fish ecology of sockeye salmon nursery lakes of the world
Wilbur L. Hartman, R.L. Burgner
1972, Journal of the Fisheries Research Board of Canada (29) 699-715
Many important, recently glaciated oligotrophic lakes that lie in coastal regions around the northern rim of the Pacific Ocean produce anadromous populations of sockeye salmon, Oncorhynchus nerka. This paper describes the limnology and fish ecology of two such lakes in British Columbia, five in Alaska, and one in Kamchatka. Then...
Location and description of spiral-shaped microorganisms in the normal rat cecum
Charles P. Davis, D. Mulcahy, A. Takeuchi, D.C. Savage
1972, Infection and Immunity (6) 184-192
Some indigenous microorganisms have been shown to localize in certain anatomical sites of the digestive tract of mammals. We studied the ceca of normal adult rats by light and electron microscopy to determine whether any specific bacterial population localizes in this area. All rats studied showed...
Water inflow into hole UA-1, Amchitka Island, Alaska
Wilbur C. Ballance, W.A. Beetem
1972, Report
Chemical composition of water samples, temperature of inflow water, and theoretical calculations were compared to evaluate the water-contributing intervals to the zone to be mined--1,782.8 to 1,798.6 meters (5,849 to 5,901 feet)--in hole UA-1, Amchitka Island, Alaska. Chemical composition and temperature of inflow water indicated the contributing zones to have...
Hydraulic tests in hole UAe-6h, Amchitka Island, Alaska
Wilbur C. Ballance
1972, Report
Inflatable straddle packers were used to isolate and test 14 intervals ranging from 39 to 258 meters (127 to 846 feet) each in hole UAe-6h. Packer seats were poor in part of the hole because of unstable wall conditions. Thus, some zones had to be tested several times. The static...
Water-resources reconnaissance of Anaktuvuk Pass, Alaska
Charles E. Sloan
1972, Open-File Report 72-348
A hydrologic reconnaissance was made of Anaktuvuk pass in the central Brooks Range during the summer of 1971 to help develop a water supply for the village school. Winter icings and summer flow conditions in Contact Creek both indicate that ground water is present beneath the creek bed. A well-site...
Reconnaissance geologic map of the Solomon D-6 quadrangle, Seward Peninsula, Alaska
C.L. Sainsbury, Travis Hudson, Rodney Ewing, Thomas Richards
1972, Open-File Report 72-325
The Solomon D-6 15- by 30-minute quadrangle lies 20 miles northeast of Nome, Alaska, and adjoins on the east the Nome D-l quadrangle mapped by Hummel (1962b) and on the west the Solomon D-5 quadrangle mapped by Smith (1910).Placer gold has been produced from Iron Creek and many of its...

Calculated in situ rock density from gravity observations, UA-1 (Cannikin) emplacement hole, Amchitka Island, Alaska
D.L. Healey
1971, Report
Gravity observations were made on the ground surface and at a depth of 5,854 feet in drill hole UA-1. Two attempts to measure the free-air gradient utilizing the headframe over the drill hole were unsuccessful owing to mechanical vibrations in the structure. Because of the uncertainty in the measured free-air...
Marine terraces of the western Aleutian Islands, Alaska
Robert H. Morris
1971, Report
The islands of the Rat Islands group, which includes Amchitka Island, have active sea cliffs, well-developed intertidal platforms, and a prominent submarine platform at -100 m. These features have not been disturbed by tectonic activity for the past 17,000 years. The islands of the Delarof Islands group, located east of...
Petroleum possibilities of Yukon-Koyukuk Province, Alaska: region 1
William W. Patton Jr.
1971, Book chapter, Future petroleum provinces of the United States--their geology and potential (AAPG Memoir 15)
The Yukon-Koyukuk province covers 100,000 sq mi (259,000 sq km) along the west coast of Alaska, extending from the Brooks Range to the Yukon delta, but excluding the Seward Peninsula. It is essentially a vast tract of Cretaceous rocks locally veneered by Quaternary alluviated beds and volcanic rocks. The Cretaceous...
Aircraft measurements of microwave emission from Arctic Sea ice
T. Wilheit, W. Nordberg, J. Blinn, W. Campbell, A. Edgerton
1971, Remote Sensing of Environment (2) 129-139
Measurements of the microwave emission from Arctic Sea ice were made with aircraft at 8 wavelengths ranging from 0.510 to 2.81 cm. The expected contrast in emissivities between ice and water was observed at all wavelengths. Distributions of sea ice and open water were mapped from altitudes up to 11...
